AWS Developer Tools Blog

In our previous post we announced support for deploying ASP.NET Core applications with AWS Elastic Beanstalk and the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. Today, we’ll talk about how deployment works and how you can customize it. After you go through the deployment wizard in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio, the toolkit bundles the application and […]

Today, we release support for deploying ASP.NET Core applications to AWS by using AWS Elastic Beanstalk (Elastic Beanstalk) and the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. This Elastic Beanstalk release expands the support the service already offers for deploying applications, including traditional ASP.NET applications, in a variety of languages to AWS. Let’s walk through the deployment […]

Today Microsoft announced PowerShell support on Windows, Linux and OS X platforms (read the blog announcement here). We’re pleased to also announce support for PowerShell on these new platforms with a new module, the AWS Tools for PowerShell Core Edition or “AWSPowerShell.NetCore” to give it its module name. Just like PowerShell itself, this new module […]

Version 3.1.93.0 of the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell now includes support for tab completion of parameters that map to enumeration types in service APIs. Let’s look at how these types are implemented in the underlying AWS SDK for .NET and then see how this new support helps you at the Windows PowerShell command line […]

We’re pleased to announce the addition of the waiters feature in the AWS SDK for Java (take a look at the release notes). Waiters make it easier to wait for a resource to transition into a desired state, which is a very common task when you’re working with services that are eventually consistent (such as […]

Back in March (1.10.59), the AWS SDK for Java introduced throttled retries, an opt-in feature that could be enabled in the SDK ClientConfiguration to retry failed service requests. Typically, client-side retries are used to avoid unnecessarily surfacing exceptions caused by transient network or service issues. However, when there are longer-running issues (for example, a network or service […]

This is part III of a blog post series in which we do a deep dive on automated security testing for AWS applications. In part I, we discussed how AWS Java developers can create security unit tests to verify the correctness of their AWS applications by testing individual units of code in isolation. In part […]
